Oh, I know that well. Back sometime in the 1970s I had to get to work.
No snow, but it was freezing rain. I ended up in a minor accident on
ice. That changed my attitude about getting to work in bad weather. I
always got there, but on my terms. If I started at 7, I'd not leave the
house some snowy days until after 7. especially if it was dark until
then. .

The last 15 years of my working career, it was even easier. I was the
one responsible to make the decision to close for snow. Only did it a
few times, but no one ever complained.
